best quotes of 2010:

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."
-William Wallace

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."
-Sir Cecil Beaton

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
-T. Merton

"You can only take with you what you have given away"
-George Bailey, It's a Wonderful Life

...reckless faith always has one foot in eternity.

‎"Pray like it's all up to God, work like it's all up to you."

-Author Unknown

"Even after all this time the sun never sys to the earth, "you owe me." Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky."
— Hafiz of Shiraz

Four things a woman should know: How to look like a girl, How to act like a lady, How to think like a man, And how to work like a dog.
-Author Unknown

"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."

-C.S. Lewis

"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."

-Martin Luther
